avast doesn't install software without the users approval.
So if secure line was installed, you have given permission for it to install.
incorrect.
my experience, and probably everyone else here, was that this software installed overnight without any warning from avast, opening avast or clicking any "okay" dialogue in avast.
if you mean that years ago, when we first installed and agreed to the TOC, there was fine print on the 18th page that said avast has the right to install additional software... then fine, jokes on us, you got us....
however, I think its a stretch to say that this qualifies as us purposefully downloading the application.
its nice to see the mods rub it in our face though instead of understanding the users frustration.
if only there was software that could prevent unwanted software from being installed in the background without our knowledge.....
